Last Graphic For a While

[quote=jhoijhoi][spoiler=continuing to derail]Amanda, I don't think Gimp is worth less than PS. I honestly think Gimp is less intuitive than PS. Everything I have to do with Gimp is backwards or round-about. With PS it's this tool does THIS and you don't have to set a million arbitrary settings.[/spoiler] On topic: I think the stylistic smudging is really cool and well blended with the render. I'd never be able to make something as cool. Do you have a tutorial that you followed, or was it just playing around with smudging?[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][spoiler=more rambling]Those "arbitrary settings" give you a lot of control if you're willing to learn what they do. >.> Gimp is freeware. You do have to think about how to use things, but you're not ripping off adobe by getting it for free either. :P[/spoiler] it looks like the render was smudged and duplicated several times, at a glance...it's well done[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I had wondered if that's what it was[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi][spoiler=mandatory response]I bought PS CS6 a while ago, as I could get a student discount. It was something like $200. Gimp doesn't give the chance to just use the tools without a million pop up boxes. PS has default settings that you can choose to change; both have the same amount of control, PS is just smarter about being user friendly.[/spoiler] Aah, liquefy. That does make sense. Still cool.[/quote]

[quote=Spyrielle]I'm familiar with both programs (Haven't used GIMP in forever though) but I do remember there was an option that I use in photoshop that isn't available on GIMP, its called "Apply Image" and its where you take all of the previous layers and merge them onto one layer, without deleting the other ones. Thanks for all the comments, and yes it is the Liquify tool, I love using that filter.[/quote]
